The Story Behind Rapunzel of Sweden​

Our journey began in 2007 when Ida Backlund founded Rapunzel of Sweden with a clear vision: to provide high-quality, easy-to-use hair extensions for everyone. After cutting her hair short at a young age, she longed for long, voluminous hair again but struggled to find premium extensions that were accessible to the general public. She saw a gap in the market and set out to revolutionize the industry by offering top-quality DIY hair extensions combined with outstanding customer service.​
